He's not Peyton Manning by any stretch of the imagination, but Crabs is not a #1 receiver and with a bunch of number 3 receivers or worse opposite crabs, they were bound to fail eventually when they met a smart defense. That being said they lost in OT of the NFC Championship game. Far cry from where a lot of people predicted them to finish and that was largely due to the way Smith led them. That weak division thing just is a cop out. They play 16 games, but only 6 against their division. They had 8 non division wins, 2 against playoff teams on the road.

There would be no issue with a bunch of number 3 receivers if Manning was throwing them the ball. I'm with Rube, SF should be all over this.
Alex Smith is not the answer.
